Shopping Haul (ft. Hollister, Superdry, Zara + Revlon)

Last Thursday, I went shopping with my friend Anna in Aberdeen before our prelims started. I managed to pick up a few things I wanted that I saw online + just thought to show you guys what I got! ^^

Clothing items:

Hollister

RRP: £32

I saw this on Hollister's website + thought that this would be a great top for the summer! It's made of a sheer yet soft material. I liked the detailing of this top as it gives it a more feminine style towards it.

RRP: £32 £11.09

This was in Hollister's clearance section which I thought was a bargain. There were some jeans on clearance too, reduced from £60 - £20! None of my size though =(

This top is ideal for summer as it's sleeveless + flowy. I like the detailing too as it has little crystals/diamante's on it + sowed on flowers. 

Navy Friendship bracelet

RRP: £3

This is my second Hollister bracelet + believe it or not, it's from the men's sections =P 

Although it's just a plain/casual bracelet, there's something about it that I really like. Probably the SoCal effect that it gives off ~

Superdry

Superdry Academy Gilet

RRP: £84.99

As blogged in previous posts, I've been ranting on about gilets + how I had my eye on the Superdry Academy gilet. I finally have it + I'm super happy that I got it ^^ I kinda freaked out when I was in Cult though as they only had sizes XS + S. I tried on a size S + to my suprise, it fitted me! ^^ 

Although it's on the pricey side, I don't regret buying it at all. It's super cosy + very fashionable! 

Zara

Buckskin Blutcher in Ecru colour 

RRP: £29.99

I've had my eye on these shoes on the Zara site for a while + decided to purchase them while I was instore ^^ It's made of a suede like material which I like as it makes the shoe more comfier ~

Revlon (Boots)

Revlon Matte Nude Attitude 001

RRP: £5.19

Left with flash, right with no flash

Boots + Superdrug were having a £2's off Revlon lipsticks so I decided to pick up a nude lipstick from Revlon's Matte collection. I quite like it as it gives a matte effect instead of a shiny/glossy effect (=

Hope you guys enjoyed my haul! 

Feedback would be appreciated ^^

Revlon Matte Nude Attitude lipstick (+ swatches + comparisons)

I picked up Revlon's Matte lipstick in Nude Attitude on Thursday as I've been looking for a matte-ish nude lipstick for a while. It's on offer for £5.49 instead of £7.49 in Boots + Superdrug at the moment so if you want it, you better hurry!

I quite like the colour + effect of it. It really does give you a nude colour + matte finishing look. I would probably tell a friend about it if they were looking for a nude lipstick too! All in all, I'm happy with it ^^

Comparison:

I've decided to compare Revlon's Matte Nude Attitude lipstick to two other nude lipsticks which are:

• Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Pinky Beige
• Maybelline Moisture Extreme lipstick in Luminous Beige

L-R: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

Top-bottom: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

The colours of the three lipsticks are quite similar but are only just about one or two shades darker/lighter. I would say Maybelline's Pinky Beige has more of a pinky tone towards it compared to the other two though.

 Maybelline Pinky Beige

As you can see, Maybelline's Pinky Beige has more of a pink tone towards it. This is great for adding colour onto your lips or just daily wear!

Maybelline Luminous Beige

Left with flash, right with no flash

I would say Maybelline's Luminous Beige is slightly the same as Revlon's Nude Attitude as the colors are quite similar. The two Maybelline lipsticks are more moisturizing compared to the Revlon's lipstick. 

L-R: Revlon Nude Attitude, Maybelline Pinky Beige, Maybelline Luminous Beige

Which one do you prefer best? (=

Thanks for reading!
